A simple technique is described for producing large-scale, tritanopic displays. The technique reproduces the various phenomena of vision with equiluminous-colour contrast that have previously been reported with red/green stimuli. It is, however, much less demanding technically, robust against artifacts, and can be used on large-scale scenes. One advantage of the technique is that a piece of blue filter can be used individually by each observer to compare quickly tritanopic and luminance conditions.
